My wife has a Kindle 3G (2nd gen with a keyboard) and an Android Tab (Asus Transformer prime). I'm on a Nook Simple touch and an Android tab. My kids are on a couple of Nooks with CM7 (so basically Android tablets).
Guess what I can't do, technically, encumbered by DRM?
On Android, reading would require a library of multiple Apps that works/runs differently and has different libraries (say, Kindle, Nook, Kobo) rather than using one app like Moon+ Reader.
I also couldn't loan a book bought from B&N to a friend (or my wife) that has a Kindle.
If you are willing to shop only from one store, and be locked into one brand of device, forever, then yeah, I'm sure you aren't going to have much of a problem. At least until your chosen company stops making reading devices or goes out of business or something.
